The St. Paul man arrested in connection with a shooting at a Fourth of July fireworks gathering was released from custody Friday.
Jarrell Ray Kirk, 27, was arrested Thursday on suspicion of assault at a gathering on St. Paul’s West Side, according to officials. According to a search warrant, Kirk said he was involved in an altercation and that he fired his gun, which he has a permit to carry, after someone fired at him first. Kirk was released Friday afternoon from the Ramsey County Jail pending investigation.
No criminal charges were filed against him. |

The subject's claim that somebody shot at him and he returned fire constituted probable cause for a search warrant???
I'd like to see the probable cause affidavit before I recommend removal of the judge from the bench, but I'd bet money that I now know of better cause for removal than the judge knew when he signed the warrant. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
